The Mojito is the ultimate refreshing, citrusy, and minty cocktail, straight from the heart of Cuba. With its perfect balance of zesty lime, cool mint, crisp white rum, and a touch of sweetness, this drink is a go-to for hot summer days and lively gatherings. Light, fizzy, and incredibly easy to sip, the Mojito is a timeless favorite that never goes out of style.
Ingredients
To mix up the perfect Mojito, you’ll need:
- 2 oz white rum (such as Bacardi or Havana Club)
- 1 oz fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
- 2 teaspoons sugar (or simple syrup)
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- Soda water (to top off)
- Crushed ice
- Lime wedge & mint sprig for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle the mint and sugar in a tall glass to release the mint’s oils.
- Add the fresh lime juice and white rum, then stir to combine.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice, almost to the top.
- Top with soda water and gently stir to mix everything together.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for that classic Mojito look.
Tips for the Perfect Mojito
- Use fresh ingredients—fresh lime juice and mint make all the difference.
- Don’t over-muddle the mint—press lightly to release the oils without making it bitter.
- Crushed ice is key—it chills the drink quickly and blends the flavors beautifully.
